Fox News and Google have invited three YouTube personalities to ask questions at the Jan. 28 GOP debate - including a Muslim advocate who describes Donald Trump as a bigot and who visually portrayed him as being in agreement with national socialist Adolf Hitler.
"We have a presidential candidate whose loudest message reeks of hatred and Islamophobia... turning on the news now is scary, and oftentimes, humiliating," the Muslim woman, Nabela Noor, says in a December YouTube video.
She admits to becoming a Muslim political activist amid the growing criticism of Islam's doctrines. "The current social environment for Muslims today is not safe or just... as a Muslim American, I felt like I needed to use my voice," she claimed.
Noor also urged her YouTube viewers to rally against critics of Islam. "I'm so thankful for those who speak up and out against anti-Islamic speech and ideologies. Our community needs more allies like you, but we have a long way to go," she said.
The two companies announced Tuesday afternoon that the anti-Trump Muslim advocate would be allowed to play a role in the debate.

Wasn’t Cruz going to run a clean campaign and not attack anyone else?
Obviously he couldn’t handle sticking to that. He’s as bad as anyone. He’s burning his bridges too.
EVERY debate season preceding every presidential election. Why doesn't the GOP chairman stop this, why AGREE to it, why not DEMAND to be treated fairly? Why do we need "moderators" asking questions anyway?
NOW we finally have a candidate with the cajones, the only one in this bunch, only one in living memory, to refuse to participate unless the debate host network removes the HIGHLY PARTISAN, unqualified, proven Trump hater, transparently seeking to curry favor with her left wing friends and colleagues.
And NOW the Cruzers on FR who weren't even around for all these previous debates in history, knew or cared nothing about politics or were simply Democrats---NOW these people, to support their Establishment candidate, call Trump a COWARD, he's too afraid to face Megyn Kelly. Even Ted Goldman Sachs Cruz is saying it. That's pitiful, because THIS is EXACTLY what conservatives and republicans have wanted for years and years: to NOT let the host network get away with using moderators who are leftists intent upon embarrassing and trying to ruin our candidates, in this case Trump.
So Trump is THE one to set the precedent, to DO what everyone before just TALKED about, and the idiots who should be over on Commitment2Establishment so childishly say, Trump is afraid of Megyn Kelly! LOL!!!!!!!!!!
PS---Trump kicked ass in SIX DEBATES and no one laid a glove on him, and now the losers want another shot at the heavy weight champion. But they aren't in his class. So no rematch.
A shariaewd move by Fox, no doubt.
Can’t stand her and stopped watching her after her attacks.
Heard a few words from giraldo......muted the rest
Trump is soft. He could dish it out but he can’t take it.
Thank you, sir. You restore my faith in the intelligence level at Free Republic. I am a Trump supporter but if I were not, my views would mirror yours here exactly.
If Cruz is really calling Trump a coward over this, he is dead to me. And I mean dead as in no vote in the general even if he is the nominee.
I’m going to see if I can find him saying this anywhere else though.
This was going to be a media lynching with the Mooselimb calling him a Islamophobe. He slipped the noose.
“i’m losing my mind1!”
LOL!
Take a deep breath and don’t think about it for a few days and see if sanity returns ;}
You’ll have to take a break from FR though.
Hannity needs to stop bashing Trump. Trump can watch Hannitys show and was Hannity just bashing Trump for not doing the debate? And then if Hannity is following Cruz tomorrow, is that not a form of endorsement? Not sure.
Like Hannity, but do not blame Trump for not taking his calls.
Bad tactic by Sen. Cruz. He should be a more sophisticated campaigner than to take that approach. Sen. Cruz can't really believe that Trump is actually scared of Ms. Kelly, so he loses credibility. At the moment Trump could be outmaneuvering the rest of his competition with a bold gambit. He's certainly re-defining the relationship between the press and candidates and politicians, something which is long overdue. And Sen. Cruz has to be smart enough to see that.
If Trump's scheme succeeds, he will have drastically reduced the power of the media against him for the rest of the campaign and possibly even the next presidency. If he skips the debate and his poll numbers hold up the rest of the candidates are going to look like they are in a race for second place.
Trump can show himself watching their debate and say "I watched it to see who might make a good Vice President."
You mean before Trump started getting on TV claiming that Cruz should bow out because he is not really American?
And he admitted he only was doing it suddenly because Cruz was beating him in Iowa.
That was reason that Trump started throwing his sh.t at Cruz as if he was Rosy.
Trump really lives in the toilet.
Only a liberal demands his opponent follow rules he is breaking first.
Trump is that liberal
i’m addicted to FR too!!!
gonna lose my job and my spouse and miss payments on the car and electricity and have to move in with Jim and...
i need to
step away
from the computer
“That’s pitiful, because THIS is EXACTLY what conservatives and republicans have wanted for years and years: to NOT let the host network get away with using moderators who are leftists intent upon embarrassing and trying to ruin our candidates, in this case Trump”
Don’t these people remember the Candy Crowley treatment? Do they really want that to be the norm?
Nobody would try that with Trump now.
Cruz is going stay in the Senate. No AG, No Supreme Court appointment. He’s back playing footsie with Mitch.
He refuses to be the victim of Alinsky tactics.
That’s what a real man does.
If anyone knows how to put on a TV program it is The Celebrity Apprentice.
Ailes just got the big middle finger. Ailes should be fired. The bottom line at Fux is going to suffer, but Trump proved he cannot be disrespected, demeaned, and pushed around, pick a fight with Trump he is going to beat you one way or another.
Trump won all 6 debates, and had nothing to fear or for that matter to prove by being at the FUX debate. Fux Fux’d up childishly taunting and trying to demean Trump.
And where is Mr RNC chair Rinse Prius? He is supposed to object to HO’s like Me GYN being moderators. I would have picked someone more qualified like Laura Ingraham, Judge Pirro, Greta. No FUX wanted to pick a fight for higher ratings.
Trump wants to Make America Great again, not make Murdoch even more rich.
Cruz went on to say that Trump is really scared of debating him, but hiding behind his Kelly excuse.
He challenged Trump to come out of hiding behind Twitter
BOOM!
